Dice Rifts Adventure OOC

[Sherwood]

At the moment, most of the team has several million in credits that they have left over from their last trip to the supply store, so spending that amount is not an issue.

 

[Psychie]

Yup. We are pretty well set, not to mention the extra funds we can get when we sell the extra stuff in the hidden cache of weapons that we don't want.

Then all I need to do is figure out who on the team has helpful skills to lower the time requirements.

 

[Psychie]

I don't have any good building and crafting skills, unfortunately. My training is more combat oriented.

Looks like only daisy does, so only a 5% decrease on time costs, maybe the dragon with research can also count given that it's prototypes and creating new things.
That seems a bit of a stretch though.

Still we could in theory just hire 7 skilled NPCs for the max 35% time reduction.

 

[Psychie]

Well, we still have to find you and get you into the team! Then we can worry about souping up our gear to the next level.

 

[Purr]

I am offended.

I must up my game so that I am the most obnoxious person, the most sarcastic person, on this site!

Sherwood, one has only to look to your many Profile Posts to see that you've held that crown for some time! =)

Also I'm level 7 about to hit 8,

Do what? You're starting the game at nearly level 8 while the rest of us are at 6th? Sherwood

EDIT: If you're using the Techno-Wizard Experience table, that puts you somewhere close to 50,000 xp while the rest of us are down at around 37,500. Lucky you.

It's not level, it's exp.

I got the same EXP as everyone else but a class that levels a fair bit faster, though I was mistaken I am barely 7.



Compare me to the dragon.

I need 36K (we have 38) instead of 50K.

That's almost 50% more

Turns out all the bullshit OP ooc's and Rccs have a cost down the line

The dragon hits 15 at 600K
Techno wizard hits 15 at340K

Dragon will be 12 when I hit 15.

As an example.

 

[Purr]

Oh! You were mistaken and he's 7th. O.K. That sounds accurate. =) I don't have any problem with us having a higher-level Crafter among us; I've just never seen anyone added to this game who was a level or two higher than those who had already been playing (by way of xp total or other decision). =)

 

[Purr]

Mirgris Do you have any questions about how combat works or anything? I take it you're new to Palladium and I know when I started, I had a ton of questions. =)

I almost went cyber doc. Then I would nearly be 8.
Transhumanisim is something that fascinates me, so a doctor chopping off limbs for better parts is cool

I've ran dead reign campaigns so I'm familiar.

 

[Purr]

Ah! Cool! How did you like Dead Reign?

 

[Mirgris]

Ah! Cool! How did you like Dead Reign?

Best written lore I've seen in an RPG

and making the entire book an in universe guide to survival was an awesome meta twist.

The mechanics were stupidly brutal.

Any dice roll below a 13 didn't hurt a zombie, a natural die roll. (Unless it was a called shot to the head)

Also it didn't have the zombies in the players book so GMs could surprise players, it has the tools to be really amazing.

 

[Purr]

How cool! I've never played it but I've kind of admired what I read about it. While I only like the occasional horror game, Dead Reign seems to have something going for it (kind of like Splicers; I think that's a unique game too). =)

 

[Mirgris]

I forgot to add, for the spellcasters, you may cross train one more spell from each other's spell lists in addition to what you get for leveling up.

So Sherwood Does this mean I can pick six spells to add to my spell list? because I could really use a few spells of choice given the starter list is good, but it's also the *Starter* list.

Yes. You can add them on.

Yes. You can add them on.

Sherwood How fast is that demon escaping? I'm inclined to not let it get away... would others have a decent shot at hitting him, or does the forest provide too much cover?

 

[Sherwood]

The demon is running pretty quick, but it can't outrun a Boom Gun round. If no one objects, and if D. Rex is still busy, I'll have Daisy fire on it with her big gun. It might be able to survive if the roll is low. Eron is fast enough to close in on it and use your sword, or you can swap out a ranged weapon and use that to whittle it down a bit.

No objection.

Techno Wizard Device Techno Wizard Calculator

I got drunk and made a robot to do math for me.

So now I can plug and play numbers, for devices, I technically still have to look up the cost in carats for each spell and add together all spell PPEs.

But it would take more work to automate all that, by making a database of gems and spells, than it would to just look that shit up by hand.

(Unless I make something in the order of 1000's of devices, probably 10'000's given I'm sure the code would be fuckey and fight me)


What I learned was that we can throw money at our devices and massively sup them.

Going from 2.5 carats to 12 carats of gems lowered the PPE activation cost from ten to two.

Which would costs tens of thousands of credits, but for something like the automotans with limited PPE, or to make an effect cheap enough they can use it could be valuable. Anyway I'm off to order taco bell (yeah I'm drunk) and figure out spell choices.

I'm thinking for background, he was a killer for the collation until he fell in love with a witch. A very human witch, she embodied everything in humanity he was told he was protecting and yet had orders to kill her, the cognitive dissonance stopped him from pulling the trigger and from there a ripple effect changed his life.

Mirgris How is the progress on your character? I am interested in starting you off in a intro series of posts to get you going once this small skirmish is over.

I can finish it tonight or sooner if you meant today, I'm picking spells, editing a few skills, and writing a bit more Back ground, but honestly like mechanically 95% done, just tweaking really at this point.

 

[Sherwood]

Outstanding.

 

[Purr]

Demon 1, now a bit befuddled, tries to hit Eron anyways, but he only manages to blast a very unhappy tree.

This made me laugh out loud! I don't know why, but who cares? I found it funny and I'm glad we're in the kind of game where our characters can react accordingly! Hah!
